Orange Jelly Candies

2 teaspoons butter
1 package (1-3/4 ounces) powdered fruit pectin
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 cup water
1 cup sugar
1 cup light corn syrup
1/8 teaspoon orange oil
5 drops each red and yellow food coloring
Additional sugar

Butter a 9-in. Square pan with 2 teaspoons butter; set aside. In a
large saucepan, combine the pectin, baking soda and water (mixture
will be foamy). In another saucepan, combine sugar and corn syrup.
Bring both mixtures to a boil. Cook until foam on pectin mixture thins
slightly and sugar mixture comes to a full rolling boil, about 4
minutes. Gradually add pectin mixture to boiling sugar mixture,
stirring constantly. Boil for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
Remove from the heat. Stir in orange oil and food coloring.
Immediately pour into prepared pan. Let stand at room temperature for
3 hours or until set.
Sprinkle waxed paper with sugar; invert pan onto sugar. With a
knife dipped in warm water, cut candy into 1-in. Squares; roll in
additional sugar. Place on a wire rack. Let stand, uncovered, at room
temperature overnight. Store in an airtight container. Yield: 81
